   I generally have zero issues with the Tennessee legislature, they do their jobs well and don't really mess with my life. They made a bad decision and are trying to figure out how to fix it without shuttering all the local hospitals, wh

   Hello back! Nice to see a neighbor on here. I probably don't know you, but I know some great coffee spots if we want to fix that. Everything wrong with Ballad is systemic. The employees are generally fantastic. They're horribly un

   No, Tennessee does not practice deficit spending. It was a calculated move to avoid raising taxes, and a gamble that did not pay off. > Anything like politicians without professional health background using their constituents as medical

   I (Bristol) know a couple Ballad doctors and admins, and that was absolutely the case.

   You seem to think Bristol is still low-COL. It's on par with a typical metro now.

   The hospitals would have shut down without it, so it was rubber-stamped as "let's not bail out the hospitals". If the monopoly functioned, there would be no issue.

   Oh look, it's my neighborhood healthcare system. Kinda weird to see the tri-cities and Neal on HN. On topic: They're literally the worst, nothing here is an exaggeration, Ballad is utter dogshit. It's so bad that the Tennesse

    Fine, and if you want better, just install GrapheneOS.

    Ramps are very good. I don't know why anyone would use a jack for an oil change...

    Mentour Pilot is for people interested in aviation. He does breakdowns/analyses of plane incidents—not just crashes. He's also a certified trainer on at least one type.

    I'm fine with this one. Massive amounts of money spent on the opposite of the political orthodoxy is always fun.

    I think he aged out of optimism, and now feels a sense of social responsibility appropriate for his age, and is applying the same tactics he used to become so successful in rocketry and automotion.

    That sounds amazing. Please stop before my wife finds out I'm even thinking about this.

    The killer would be a Komodo. Global shutter and autofocus is amazing in something that price.

    RED does have a nice image pipeline, and some neat stuff like the Komodo. Wish I still had the spare change to get one.

    It has a fairly reasonable compositing toolkit, so if want you want to throw some assets together, it's a perfectly janky way to do so. If you want to actually rotoscope, chroma key, do any tracking, or any other modern functionality,

    I had no idea Natron was still maintained. It's a cool idea, but absolutely garbage to use. Just download Resolve/Fusion for free.

    I'm not going on an academic deep dive to prove that the mob in America was catapulted to power by prohibition. It's self-evident, and continues to be so as you go deeper.

    If you want the effects of alcohol without the downside, this is a much healthier way to get stronger effects. That's pretty reasonable, no? I'm not suggesting this as treatment for an alcoholic.

    I am not a normal human. I have a disturbing combination of high aggression, low empathy, high intelligence, and high agreeableness. I don't make sense to me. I'm not talking about social anxiety hangups, either. I'm talking

    DignifAI is probably the most hilarious result of this whole ai image gen thing. It's quite good, too. Also, apparently people get mad when they're DignifAI'd, and I don't understand why.

    I moved to a state where lockdown never happened, and people here just don't understand how bad it actually was. What am I gonna do, talk to a therapist?

    It also literally created the mafia. Single-factor analysis is really not smart.
